Set on a quiet hilltop in Friendship, Maine, Rolling Meadows isn’t your average yoga getaway. This is a fully silent retreat—apart from guided sessions in hatha, vinyasa, yin, and restorative yoga—designed for deep personal transformation. Since 1980, it’s offered a no-distractions zone: no phones, no laptops, no spa pampering. Just silence, movement, breathwork and valuable, unstructured time in nature.

If you’re looking to scroll TikTok between sun salutations, this isn't for you. But if you're ready to meet yourself without distractions, it just might be.
